The 2022 G League Draft is set to take place on Saturday, Oct. 22, effectively kicking off the new G League season.

For the first time in G League history, there will be 30 teams competing in a full 32-game schedule, which is set to tip off on Nov. 4. Although not all 30 NBA teams have a G League affiliate — the Suns and Trail Blazers being the outliers — the G League Ignite and Mexico City Capitanes are joining the G to round out 30 teams competing for the 2023 NBA G League championship.
